SunnyTurtle Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Make sure when you create from scratch that your units are in Millimetres AutoCAD DWG to PDF limits you to 5080 by 5080mm or 200 by 200in Could someone please confirmed this and also if there is a custom plotter that can print larger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Why do you need a PostScript 2? I generally plot to JPG or PNG, then use that in PhotoShop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Does the ps level 2 get you an .eps file? In a book I have about using AutoCAD in PhotoShop it talks about printing to a ps level 2 file. I would think that a PDF file might be a good option as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 PDF works much better than standard raster formats. PDF gives you vector quality importing, not to mention scaling options among other things. Raster PDF still would be well preferred over JPG, PNG is okay but depends on exactly what you've drawn. My advice is just plot to PDF and drag/drop into Photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
